Official Title: Financial Support in an Underserved and Low-Income Population With Heart Failure
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether financial support in the form of a one-time $500 stipend would improve medication adherence and quality of life in low-income, socially-needy patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in the post-discharge setting.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will complete surveys on quality of life, social stress, and spending habits at their baseline visit.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive $500 at their baseline visit or $0 at their baseline visit.
At their one month visit, medication adherence and quality of life will be assessed.
These results will be compared between groups.
The group that received $0 at their baseline visit will be provided $500 at their one-month visit and return for a two-month visit.
At that visit, medication adherence and quality of life will be assessed.
These results will be compared to their one-month results.
Researchers will compare the 1-month medication adherence and quality of life scores between the immediate financial support vs delayed financial support.
Researchers will also compare 1-month vs 2-month adherence and quality of life data for participants who were randomized to the delayed financial support group.
